Experienced Sitter w/Vet Knowledge!

Pet care experience

Boarding Client Info: I am open for boarding at the moment! My yard is 90% fenced, dogs are supervised while outside and we enjoy walks multiple times per day. I have my personal dog, Huck, living in the home. He is a 6 year old golden retriever and is crate trained. Dogs are allowed free roam of the house, they are allowed on furniture, while away dogs must be crate trained and I request owner to provide their own crate. During the work week I work 8AM-5PM, lunch break potty breaks available upon request, during weekends dogs won't be left more than 4 hours. Please send me a message with any additional questions! **I'm taking a break!** I recently purchased a house, so I am taking a break from in-home pet sitting to focus on some projects. If you are a regular client, please message me directly. Hello! Please note: at this time I am only accepting new clients that will allow my personal dog to come with for house sitting. Huck is extremely well trained, socialized, and gets along with everyone, he will not be left in your home if I am not there. My name is Holli, I am a recent pre-veterinary graduate from Iowa State University. My experiences include pet-sitting for large and small animals ranging from a few hours to days at a time: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, cattle and alpacas. I have 4 years of experience at a small animal hospital where I provided excellent care to dogs, cats, and small animals of all sizes and needs while assisting veterinarians with clinical procedures. While working at the hospital I also helped manage the feline and canine boarding facilities where I was responsible for feeding, medicating, and monitoring the animals. My love for dogs goes beyond my love for people, when I pet sit your dog will be a temporary member of my family with all of the love and care your dog needs and wants! My availability depends on my work obligations. I am mostly available evenings, weekends, holidays, and early mornings. Please message me for availability!

We are so thankful to have found Holli here on Rover. We felt so comfortable leaving our dood with her and he had so much fun with her dog Huck! Thank you Holli!

Holli was great from the start before even watching our dogs! She's great at communication, she's so friendly and provided lots of updates and photos while we were away! Her vet tech experience gave us peace of mind as well. We would definitely recommend Holli!

Information Holli H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dog(s): name, age, breed, medical history, pet peeves, and preferences. It is important that I know whether or not your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or animals, people, food, etc. That way I can provide your dog with the best care and a calm environment so they remain comfortable, I am experienced in handling dogs that are aggressive in some situations and dogs of all sizes. I am very knowledgeable in medical needs, if your dog needs medications, insulin injections, or any other applications look no further, I am very capable and comfortable in my animal husbandry!

A typical day

While I am not a runner, I enjoy long walks and play time; your dog will receive adamant exercise. Depending on your location we may go on a walk or hike in the park, play fetch in the yard, or even practice training exercises that you want to maintain while you are gone.
